3:01 pm
president granted interviews with weather forecasters to stress the urgency of dealing with global climate change. the 800 page report is the most alarming report in decades. the. >> single most important bottom line that shines through all these hundreds of pages that climate change is not a distant threat. it is happening now. it is affecting the american people now. >> officials say the report will be used to help different parts of the country cope with climate change and to guide new regulations on power plant emissions though critics say the lack of international countries like china and india are building coal power plants -- >> it's all cost and no benefit. >> the white house doesn't deny the impact of foreign emissions but officials say the report
3:02 pm
offers regional solutions and is not just a bad news story. still, critic calm it more political than scientific. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell used a -- accused the president of using it to support a environmental tax. >> republicans say mr. obama is draking his feet on the keystone xl pipeline to appeal who environmentalists who donated to his campaign. >> i think he has some serious questions about how much it would contribute to the deteriorating climate situation. >> but some people find rising temperatures more difficult to accept after a winter so harsh the administration blamed it for holding back the economy in the first three months of the year. the white house says climate change causes extremes in both
3:03 pm
directions. >> the increase in the severity of weather that we have seen is attributable, according to the overwhelming majority of scientists who study this issue to the changing climate. >> some critics say the administration is setting the stapling for regulations that will benefit mainly blue states at the expense of energy-producing red states by penalizing carbon emissions which pay no attention to state lines. for the first time in decades, more american businesses are closing than opening. a census study by brookings institution finds that firm closings eclipsed openings since 2008 and they have remained that way throughout the obama presidency. the trend of businesses slowing has been documented across the united states accident in all sectors.

word today that secretary of state john kerry will cooperate into a select investigation into the benghazi terror attacks. the newly appointed committee said his sights are set on the former boss. >> the secretary of state john kerry in a wide ranging news conference took a question today on benghazi in whether he would comply with a subpoena to the a government oversight committee. >> we'll respond. we have absolutely nothing to hide whatsoever. >> kerry said they would cooperate despite partisanship on the hill and what he described with jurisdictional questions with a new house select committee on benghazi. the focus will be the secretary of state hillary clinton.
3:05 pm
>> how can you run an investigation without talking to the person in charge? so the matter in which we talk to her, i can't tell you this morning. i can tell you this, anyone who has evidence or information is going to be talked to. >> well, as you know, secretary clinton is a private citizen, but she also testified, i believe for about five hours on this case. >> but that testimony which amounted to five minute question and answer questions was disjointed and overtaken by committee member speeches. in a statement today, the house minority leader nancy pelosi said the new select committee should be equally divided between democrats and republicans. >> i can tell you this. it's not going to be evenly constitute and when she was speaker she certainly had no interest in having a equal number of republicans and democrats. >> reporter: new efforts have come to light of a media
3:06 pm
strategy after fox news reported within 24 hours that it was known that it was a terror attack. it was the subject of a seven-page email chain among officials. >> a seven-page dialogue concerning one "fox news" report demonstrates an alarm bell situation where they are reacting to and trying to shape a response. >> reporter: the contents were withheld because government lawyers told federal government said the release of this information could reasonably be expected to chill the frank deliberations that occur when state department and other u.s. government officials are formulating public responses to address sensitive issues. whn the last half hour, a select committee will have 12 members, 7 republicans and 5 democrats.

3:10 pm
as an after math as we did in crimea. >> sometimes, i think the only strategy the administration has is getting people who talk about ukraine to look in the mirror and make sure they practice sounding tough. >> reporter: the obama administration confirmed it may also clamp down on off shore tax havens to punish russia. the kremlin said today it expects the russian economy to contract in the next quarter. up next, a house vote up coming to hold a former irs person in contempt. police recovered a half million dollars inside a drained covered swimming pool in florida. a broken clip appears to be

3:15 pm
conservative groups. following the developments live from capitol hill. good evening. >> reporter: house lawmaker are preparing a contempt of congress measure for a key figure in the irs probe, lois lerner. >> we're going to bring her up. we're going to subpoena her. we're going to hole her in contempt. we've gone to the irs and we've requested all emails. >> one year after initially calling on lois lerner to testify about the irs's targeting conservative groups. she's twice taken the fifth after initially saying she had not done anything wrong. >> i have not violated any irs rules or regulations and i have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee. >> reporter: republicans immediately said by making that statement she waived her right but leading democrats say they aren't convinced about that.
3:16 pm
>> what you are having is creating a political whirly wind about this. >> leadership was encouraging democrats to vote against holding lerner in contempt. hoyer is suggesting is politics. >> that is something that should actually be confronted. people should be held to account for that. >> the house is planning to vote on a measure thursday calling on attorney general eric holder to appoint a special prosecutor for the irs having little faith in the justice department investigation. stocks finished sharply lower. the dow lost 130 points today. the s&p 500 down 17, the nasdaq lost 57. now to america's
3:17 pm
headquarters. voters in key battle grounds heading to the polls today. what's the big picture here? >> it's best captured what's going on tonight in the north carolina primary to take care on kay hagan in the tar heel state. take a look at the graphic here. it shows how things going. the frontrunner was tom tillis. there's a lot of outside money come. jeb bush, the former florida governor has endorsed him. his closest opponent is greg branden. he has been endorsed by rand paul. mark harris also has been endorsed by mike huckabee. so you have three very distinct
3:18 pm
candidates. three presidential candidates divvying up their endorsements. the other thing tomorrow, john kasich, the ohio governor, he doesn't have a republican opponent. >> marco rubio is now in the endorsement game. this ad popped up today. >> washington is risking what makes america great. threatening what makes us unique. corey gardener will help change all that. >> who is surprisingly vulnerable and the democrats are caught off guard by this. this is a big push by corey
3:19 pm
gardener. for rubio, obviously, he's trying to help, but he's also trying too pick up some 2016 ious in a state that would be very important in a couple of years ago. he's also endorsed another candidate involved in the primary in iowa. a lot to fit in. hillary clinton appeared to enjoy a line of questioning today on whether she's running for president. while speaking at a conference at suburban d.c., she played coy on how she makes big decisions. >> for me, i am somebody who has to really mull things over because there is a cost to everything, and for me, it's, you know, it is exciting to be in the public arena, trying to do what i can to influence the public debate. i just have to decide whether
3:20 pm
i'm ready to do that. so stay tuned. when i know, you'll know. >> after years of avoiding the public eye, monica lewinsky says her very public affair with bill clinton still haunts her. she regrets what happened and that it was the subsequent public humiliation that altered her life permanently. it was a consensual relationship. any abuse came in the after math when i was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position. she reports hillary clinton's reaction. she may have faulted her husband for being inappropriate, but i find her impulse to blame the woman, not only me, but herself, troubling. still ahead why some women are up set about plans for a museum celebrating women.
3:21 pm
it's great for watching game film and drawing up plays. it's got onenote, so i can stay on top of my to-do list, which has been absolutely absurd since the big game. with skype, it's just really easy to stay in touch with the kids i work with. alright, russell you are good to go! alright, fellas. alright, russ. back to work! ♪ why do results matter so much? it's probably because they are the measurement of everything we do. for a wireless company, results come down to coverage speed and legendary reliability. so go ahead, stream, game or video chat. that's why verizon built americas largest 4g lte network. because the only thing that really matters are the results you get. so for the best devices the best network and for best results, use verizon.

now, to a real cash problem for america's highways. funding to fix roads is running on empty. desperate times could mean the return of tolls banned almost 60 years ago. >> reporter: the highway trust fund which pays for upkeep of the highway system is expected to run out of money in august. >> it hasn't been increased in 20 years, and according to the american society of civil engineers, all of infrastructure
3:25 pm
in this country gets a grade of d plus, so we're in trouble in term of our investment in infrastructure. >> it's not a new problem. president eisenhower wrestled how to pay for the system from its very inception. >> very greatly increased tax, and in this case that would be on related products, gasoline tires, and son on. >> one option he didn't have was interstate tolls. congress banned them in 1976. last week, a proposal was sent to congress to lift that prohibition. >> for me, it's a federalism issue. the interstate highway system is owned by state governments. i think we ought to free state government ability up to be able to respond to infrastructure needs in any way they can. >> electronic tolling reduces
3:26 pm
costs, but opponents say tolls are more expensive than raising the tax cost. >> we can't fathom the logic asking americans to pay more than they otherwise would need to. >> a their option is for congress to reduce funding for interstate maintenance. the department of transportation estimates that instate roads and bridges are in such disrepair they will require $2.5 trillion over the next 50 years. a former aide faced tough questions today about decisions to close the bridges. they said she was not aware of the decision to create gridlock. a teenager learns a hard

3:31 pm
a former new jersey governor replaced former secretary of state condoleezza rice after she withdrew. that was news to former football player eric le grand who tweeted they offered me the commencement speech this weekend and i was going to accept but they decided to go other ways for political reasons. he was paralyzed playing f football. rutgers saying the miscommunication has been resolved and le grand has aagreed to be one of the speakers. >> meanwhile, condoleezza rice has issued an invitation to speak at another university. a california school district has canceled a controversial assignment following a slew of complaints and at least one death threat. why the outrage?
3:32 pm
the assignment for a lesson on propaganda was as follows. some people claim the holocaust is not an actual evunt but instead of a propaganda tool, write an essay whether or not you believe this was an actual event in history or merely a political scheme. the school's superintendent is meeting with educators to make sure assignments like this one are taken out of the curriculum. fill link while driving is not smart. posting that youtube and driving like an idiot gets the police to your door. the driver was arrested for crashing into multiple cars. leave it to washington to have a controversy over a museum. it's to be dedicated to the accomplishments of women.
3:33 pm
since it is in the nation's capital, politics is playing a role. >> it's important if we talk about women's history, we talk about all of it. many republicans are raising concerns that the museum may lean to the left based on what they have seen on the museum's website so far. we need to talk that the sufficient rajists are also pro life. our concern is that this is going to be a platform for leftist ideology. >> it's far too early to talk about specific content and a bipartisan congressional commission would have initial oversight of the project. >> there will be a commission that will look at establishing the museum, but the commission will be structured such that there are four appointees by
3:34 pm
republican leadership and four by democratic leadership. >> reporter: skeptics say that commission yet to be created would play a key role in site location. a council of advisers had been advising the museum. the group was disbanded the group after criticism. any credible project must bring professionals on board. >> so this is what's crucial. transparencey basically means having a group people trust in this case. >> reporter: the museum planners do continue to work with other historians and it would be absurd to try to do the work without them. >> a hostile climate, critics cry foul on the president's
3:35 pm
climate change agenda. we'll take it up with the panel after the break. 's right, no hid. it's just that i'm worried about, you know, "hidden things." ok, why's that? well uhhh... surprise!!! um... well, it's true. at ally there are no hidden fees. not one. that's nice. no hidden fees, no worries. ally bank. your money needs an ally.

3:38 pm
the single most important bottom line that shines through all these hundreds of pages is that climate change is not a distant threat. it is something that is happening now. it is affecting the american people now in important ways. >> the president also knows that much of the pain of imposing suggest regulations would be born by our own middle class, that's why this discussion has become so cynical and it's part of the reasons the president's own party couldn't even pass a national energy tax when it had complete control of washington's congress back in 2009 and 2010. the american people weren't willing to go along with
3:39 pm
considerable domestic pain for global gain. >> 800 page report released by the white house today. the president talking with weather forecasters to distress the idea of climate change. let's bring in our panel. george will, mara lie ason. and charles krauthammer. >> what they tell you is that you should be scared about what's happening today. of course, if it's very cold in the winter, they blame it here in the northeast, they blame it on global warming and the report says global warming makes winters shorter and warmer. every scientific theory that explains everything explains nothing and no matters what happens in climate is unpleasant, it's weather.
3:40 pm
it's attributed to global warming. if we continue global warming up here in the northeast we're going to freeze to death. assume that they are right about global warming, assuming it is caused by man, the united states has reduced carbon emissions since 2006 mower than any other country on earth. we are right now at 1992 levels according to the international energy agency, and yet carbon emissions have gone up globally? why, we don't control the emissions of the other 96% of humanity, especially china and intae. as we dismantle the coal plants in our country, china and ind dei can't -- india are opening up one every other week. if we could have a pact with
3:41 pm
other countries in which everybody would reduce their emissions, i would sign on. in the absence of it, all that we're doing is committing economic suicide in the name of do goodism that will not do an iota of good. >> mark. >> first of all, it's not clear as mitch mcconnell suggested that president obama wants to put on a national energy tax. he is going to propose a new set of regulations. >> is the first part of the statement though? obviously he control both -- >> yes. he certainly couldn't do it back then, and he's not suggesting it now. he couldn't do it back then and cap and trade went nowhere even though some republicans were for it, including john mccain at one point. i think the republicans have to decide whether they want to say this isn't a problem or it is a problem but we shouldn't do anything unless china and developing countries are also on board. eventually, this problem has to be dealt with. i think the science is pretty oenkling now, it's real. it's climate change.
3:42 pm
it's extreme weather all over the place and it is costing a lot of money and making a lot of changes and we have to decide whether we're going to mitigate it or try to just adopt to it and live with it. >> there is no evidence for the increase in extreme weather. i'm looking south in the direction of hurricanes after katrina i was really interested when they said this is a har binger. which since then has plummeted. mr. holedren has failed before. the ice cap in the north pope pole would be gone in 2013. it's not. now, there is as charles says, how much wealth do we want to spend directly or in lost production in order to have no discernible measurable effect on the climate? people will say what about this
3:43 pm
report? there is a sociology of science. scientists are not saints. they have got interests like everybody else. if you want a tenure track in academia, don't question the reigning orthodoxy on climate change. if you want to get along with your peers, confirm to peer pressure. >> you don't buy the 97% of scientists who studied the issue. >> who measured them? i do not. the new york magazine which is impeccably up set about climate change recently spoke as the last word on climate change. now, try that phrase, the last word on microbiology, quantum mechanics, physics, chemistry, since when does science come to
3:44 pm
the end? the new yorkers discovered the end of this. who else has? >> the climate assessment said today, americans are noticing changes all around them. summers are longer and hotter, winters are generally shorter and warmer. now, this white house put out a statement just a week and a half ago, last week, saying about the gdp, the first quarter of 2014 was marked by unusually severe winter weather including record cold temperatures and snowstorms which explains part of the difference in the gdp growing relative to previous quarters. jay carney was asked about all of this. here's what he said. >> the impacts of climate change on weather are severe if both directions. the fact that the severe winter that much of the country endured had an impact on gdp it wasn't an aassessment that we here along but economists independent on the outside made and that nobody disagrees with. the fact is that no single
3:45 pm
weather event can be attributed to climate change. there is an inclination upon some to doubt the science, despite the overwhelming evidence and the overwhelming percentage in the 97% range of scientists who study this issue agree that climate change is real and it is the result of human activity. >> charles. >> 99% of physician sifts were convinced that space and time were fixed in which einstein said they are not. i'm not impressed by numbers. when i was a psychiatrist, i participated in consensus conferences in how to define depression and mania. these are things that people negotiate and the way that you would negotiate a bill, because the science is unstable. because the case of climate, the models are changeable and
3:46 pm
because climate is so complicated. the idea that we who have trouble forecasting what's going to happen on saturday in the climate could pretend to be predicting what's going to happen in 30, 40 years, is absurd and you always see that no matter what happens, whether it's a flood or it's a drought, whether it's one -- it's warming or cooling, it's always a result of what is ultimately what we're talking about human sin with pollution of carbon. it's the oldest superstition around. it was in the old testament. it's in the rain dance of the native americans. if you sin, the weather won't cooperate. >> let's talk about the politics of this. clearly, it fits into the white house push, but what about 2014? 2015. >> i think what would be the best politics perhaps would be to go ahead and push this. he's been doing this for years
3:47 pm
and approve the keystone pipeline. you know, in the past, the white house has believed that the keystone pipeline was a side show. it doesn't affect global warming. there are a lot of democrats, good handful of red state incumbents would like the pipeline to be approved and he can focus on what he thinks is important which is this big climate change. >> there are a few things they think are side shows. >> a number -- a moment ago, we had a crumbling infrastructure. it was written by civil engineers. there is a sociology in science and in all of this and gaming the politics of this, we have to understand the enormous interests now invested in climate change. >> on both sides. >> sure. >> the fossil fuel industry has a big interest and you say environmentalists have an
3:48 pm
interest. >> it pails in comparison to the money flowing from the federal government. violence heats up in eastern ukraine as the policy debate heats up on capitol hill. if you ask me about shingles, i'd say, did you ever have chickenpox? 1 in 3 people will get shingles in their lifetime. guess which one i was. for $175 dollars a month? so our business can be on at&t's network yup. all five of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're working deals all day. you get 10 gigabytes of data to share. what about expansion potential? add a line anytime for 15 bucks a month. low dues... great terms... let's close. new at&t mobile share value plans.

3:51 pm
built for business. well, the answer is is that you can't tell me what specific action russia would take in order to trig are sanctions outside of the actual elections being disrupted themselves? you are not answering the question, madam secretary? >> we have steadily increased packages of sanction. even before we get to sectoral, there is more that we can do in the named sanctions sectors. we are prepared to do that. >> may i express my deep
3:52 pm
disappointment on your failure to an the questions? i had hoped better as a witness when i strongly supported your nomination for your present position. questioning up on capitol hill today about sanctions against russia and the situation in ukraine. secretary kerry says he's disappointed in russia. >> what disappoints him is russia's failure to meet its commitments. there's no reason to take that seriously. but russia is now saying that is particularly ominous when and if there are negotiations in ukraine about the disturbances, the pro russian demonstrators that are the disturbances have to be at the table. if they are at the table, that clearly prefigures a partition of ukraine and instantly
3:53 pm
delegitimatizes the government of ukraine. >> they are already doing that. saying that the may 25th elections are not going to be legitimate. >> the united states has not agreed to have them at the table yet and certainly the ukrainian government doesn't want them at the table. the big problem is we ratchet up our sanctions to sectoral sanctions and germany who we already know don't want any part of that. would it make any difference? it's not unlike climate change. if we do it and europe doesn't do it, we need the europeans to make this work, to make it sting. >> this is john kerry, we are not going to sit idly by while russian elements fan the flames of instability, instead of fulfilling the commitments that we made. i mean, of course we're standing by idly. that's exactly what our policy is. as russia is fanning the flames
3:54 pm
of instability. why would you make such a ridiculous statement which only exposes you to exactly ridicule. look, what this administration has done is it allowed russia to define the terms of the conflict. putten -- put continue -- p putind's same to make the elections i will legitimate. if he can't old the election in the east and he can't hold it in the south, it will be an invalid election. that's his near term objective. the longer objective is to make the ukrainian state ill legitimate. in the four-hour interview he did earlier, two weeks ago, he was asked about ukraine. he said, why was ukraine created in the first place in 1920? god knows. >> just very quickly, george,
3:55 pm
is -- the administration, numerous officials say this is the crimea playbook all over again. that was not a playbook that worked well with the u.s. >> it worked perfectly, and in fact, notice that we no longer talk about crimea. that is accepted as a done deal, and putin having pocketed that is reaching for more. >> a bonus panel up next. stay tuned. why do results matter so much? it's probably because they are the measurement of everything we do. for a wireless company, results come down to coverage speed and legendary reliability. so go ahead, stream, game or video chat. that's why verizon built americas largest 4g lte network. because the only thing that really matters are the results you get. so for the best devices the best network and for best results, use verizon. we cannot let the fans down. don't worry! the united states postal service will get it there on time
3:56 pm
3:58 pm
a bonus panel. tonight, earlier in the program, we told you how the highway trust panel is expected to run out of money in august. a serious problem for america's highways. this cash is supposed to go to fix the roads. one solution could mean the return of tolls, banned almost 60 years ago. what do you think, george? >> i'm all for tolls. that's the principle that those who use something should pay the lion's share of it, and we should have more tolls, not
3:59 pm
